Well atleast for the people who were kids or young teens in the Mid 90's, you would probably remember this popular toy
It came out in 1995 and it was the coolest thing at the time (along with the Talkboy), but you could basically just hold down the "Say" button and talk into it and then press play and it plays back your message. lol, I know it sounds corny as hell today because we have little radio recorders and what not, but this was awesome to us younger kids. They even came out with a different version where you could talk into it and then press a button that says "Yalp" and it will play what you said Backwards!
I had a purple one that I got back when they originally came out and then I ended up losing it like 9 years ago, but luckily enough I just found it this past christmas in my Grandparents kitchen drawer 8)

I remember Yak Bak. Back in the mid 90's, that was top technology. Nowadays, things like that are greatly improved
I bought a Yak Bak a few years ago at a flea market and it actually worked. I don't know what I ever did with it ???

I'm a huge fan of electronic thingies like this, although I never had one. The backwards thing is what would've sold me, LOL.
If I had it, I woulda used it on someone else all the time however - I absolutely HATE hearing my voice on tape. ;D

I remember Yak Bak, it was ok I guess, nothing to get really excited about.

When you're a kid, it seems pretty amazing. I'm sure it didn't appeal at all to Adults at the time

I had one until the battery died earlier this year. Then I threw it out. Those things can come in handy sometimes though. ;D

I remember them, but I never owned one.... I remember those electronic pets, too, which came out around 1998.
